Interesting how language can be so confusing. Picture a man from China reading
the headline "Smith Pronounced President" in the Hew York Times.

Like a lot of words it's spelled one way and pronounced another it's spelled
Skandortriskedernqvaskgewottern but pronounced Cleveland :-)

See ya

Actually I was born in a Polish Ghetto in Skandortriskedernqvaskgewottern
Norway
a small non discript village.


Ok, 2 questions: how do you pronounce that and how long does it take to say?
